Blackberries are ripening around the studio at about the same rate my newest work is becoming ready to show. Both events are very exciting to me!

I’ve been working on this carefully selected set of images for nearly a year now ( or, all of my life in some ways) and am so thrilled to see the images complete the journey from my minds’ eye to finished artwork.

The work celebrates the chaotic vitality and beauty of nature above, below and all around us.

Each of the pieces I’ve made is a labor of love. They are archival pigment prints of my layered photographic artwork, hand embellished with acrylics,

hand mounted to wood panels, and finished with custom frames.

The images will be on exhibit on Salt Spring island in two shows opening later this month. See the Shows/Events page for details.
